Starting point is 00:00:25 Celebrate in a fashion responsible. You have to have the age legal for consuming Thank you to Shopify for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. Let's do this, people. All right, ladies and gentlemen, Gregoxi. Yeah, it doesn't work. Gregoxi.

Starting point is 00:00:51 Groxie, groxie. It sounds like Rex is groc. We're red. reg we watch final destination bloodlines of course want to say thank you to prepper for any these highlights man the machinations that it comes to making sure this kind of think of you be visible on youtube thank you please leave a like on this video by the way helps this video get promoted subscribe and click that bell because then boys when errands back in town they're going to be shooting the reaction and we're going to hopefully get that up in the next couple

Starting point is 00:01:17 of days before we go into anything we'll like weave in and out of our review during this time our royal rejects we like to put out our shooting schedule exclusively for them and we got three questions here that I want to feature here at the very top the first one here let's go with um oh this is a good one hasina ali as Kimberly from final destination two yes is the only protagonist to survive the franchise do you think she should return in a new sequel and become the new bloodworth tony and use her knowledge on death to help others i was kind of surprised that we didn't get a return a cameo of her i really thought they were setting that up but do you think that they should bring her back i think if they do another sequel i feel like it

Starting point is 00:02:01 would be a good payoff to that so as the tony todd i don't know if she should be the tony todd but so more like the clear i think that will close the loop or not close the loop be like a full circle because in her movie she goes to me clear at the hospital right and then she could be kind of like that person who services the narrative there and it would also give a clear cut answer on what happen to her. I'd also like to see her survive though. I want to know when we're watching these it's not a suspenseful if you think nobody can ever survive. I think it's so if they keep her a lot if they bring her back and they keep her alive then I'm into it. I'm not into them bringing her back to close the loop like they did with clear and kill her off. Yeah that's a good point. So I mean but what

Starting point is 00:02:47 you just said though does that do you feel like them dying at the end kind of undercut some of the experience the brother and sister? No, because the entire time I thought maybe they wouldn't because Kimberly hasn't. You know, there's somebody out there. So it kept my expectations kind of like, especially because we see the water thing. And I was like, oh, wow, okay, we know she could make it. So it was still suspenseful. It's not suspenseful if nobody ever can make it, which is kind of what happens in Smile.

Starting point is 00:03:17 Have you seen The Smile Frantus? Love those movies. Okay, so I watch those for the channel, obviously. Love them. and you start to feel at a certain point like you can't outrun this but some people have so you still are wondering

Starting point is 00:03:32 like is this possible because we hear about that one person that one person and smile that was able to by killing somebody else or whatever well you bring up you brought up a point when we were watching it about Kimberly though that

Starting point is 00:03:48 I honestly forgot our main character's name in this movie Do you remember it? I don't remember. In which movie? The one we just watched. Iris, the mom, the grandma? No, the main. Oh, the daughter?

Starting point is 00:03:58 Yeah. The granddaughter? This is what Mda-Bos for. This is what? What? M-de-bo. Oh. Yeah, I want to know her name.

Starting point is 00:04:06 Because when we were, you were saying that, I don't remember how they resuscitated Kimberly. Was that like an actual, like, clear, you know? She went into the water, and then when we woke up, we were in the hospital. Okay, so maybe her heart actually did stop. Yeah. did die versus what happened it's cool because i am curious what her name is yeah we gotta get what was it stephen yeah yeah they did sit a million times wait can you click on charlie while we're

Starting point is 00:04:32 here yeah yeah sure i just want to make sure 100% that this is the dude that we think it was good shocking kid yeah eight episodes so he is the cousin and his and the dad his dad was a twin so he was also devonsala ah yeah yeah cool cool well thanks yeah they gotta have done that on purpose a little bit right Uh, maybe. I mean, last one, I found out there's five soon to have a lot of weird connections to the office. So I wouldn't be surprised that they wanted to like have some funny little connections to another thing. But yeah, thanks to Sina. Sam Wani is saying, do you believe that things are predestined to happen or are really in control of our own future fates? And if you were given information of your own possible future like your death, do you think knowing and looking for it everywhere would actually bring to fruition? It's all about feeding free will thoughts. I mean, that's a philosophical question. What do you think? Damn, I didn't actually expect that. Do you believe that things are predestined to happen? I believe we're in control around futures and fates.

Starting point is 00:05:29 I don't believe things are predestined. Do you believe in predestined? No, no. You and I are very similar with this stuff. So, no. I think to believe that is to decide that you aren't going to be the best version of yourself. Absolutely. And I have to believe that every day I should fight to be the best version of myself

Starting point is 00:05:48 so that I can make the world a better place and be a better person. and family member, colleague, friend, all of that. And if I thought it is what it is, then I wouldn't do that. I would just let it be what it is. I remember it at one point, it's interesting to posing this question, because there was some point early on in the movie where they were sort of more spiritually energy posing the question. I forgot where in the movie.

Starting point is 00:06:14 It was very early on, but they were talking about it more as like an energy attraction of where you put your thoughts. and then with this movie also introducing the idea of bloodline and genetic did you ever did you hear that fun fact about what the first final destination movie was supposed to be I had a really hard time just following you. They were being spiritual in this movie. There was one. You're talking about when she said she's walking through everything, she kind of felt it.

Starting point is 00:06:41 She was having a conversation somewhere. I remember, like, having a thought of, oh, like, oh, they're modernizing this a little bit more with, like, how horror movies do a lot of family genealogy trauma. And it wasn't when she said she felt it, like with the soccer ball and all that. And she was like, yeah, I can feel it. Yeah, it's definitely like way before that. Okay.

Starting point is 00:06:59 So then what was your next question? The next question was something... Did I hear a fun fact? Oh, about what the first Final Destination movie was what they were intending for that. Of when the writer wrote that, it was actually a spec script for the X-Files. Oh, oh, oh. And that actually had the biggest, one of the big clues of all is that it's, that it could be genetic of what is going on. And I think this movie is like, actually, this is the first one to really do that, right?

Starting point is 00:07:29 Like this is the first one I deal with like, oh, it runs in the family. It runs in a bloodline. And I thought they might tether it more to all the other ones. But they did not. Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you. And then that was really cool for us to come back and have it like have a bigger meaning and go through the bloodlines. I really, I liked that choice.

Starting point is 00:07:47 On the second part of this question, though, if you're given information about your own future, like your death, do you think knowing and looking for everywhere is what would actually bring it to fruition? so I think that's kind of what I think that's kind of what I was getting I think I don't remember the exact line there was something very early on in the movie where they were there was a conversation happening that was kind of along this thought process of like maybe by over folk think about what happened to the the the brother who was the roommates in college no idea and she's like because I'll kill you the blonde girl no no no idea but think about what happened with like the the the one with the piercings the brother with the piercings and stuff of how he it seems like in some ways he attracted the death onto himself instead of death choosing him you know from where his attention was focused so i don't know what other because it seems like there's always more rules and more unpacking to do with this uh connection to death on a more energy level like how iris seems to form a relationship with death and which i like that implementation too of how she views death like a like a real personality like a real being yeah not today yeah yeah yeah for me i would love to know when i was going to die i think it would be so

Starting point is 00:09:06 helpful for my life really oh my god i would love to people say like would you want to know how when you're going to die i don't think it's been predetermined so i don't think i could know that but if it was predetermined i would love to know and i think it would make me live a better life Um, that's a really good point. Kev B. You want to read this last one? Yeah, Kev B says, if you realized you were next on death's list, what would you honestly try to do to avoid it?

Starting point is 00:09:33 Do you think you'd have any real shot or is it just impossible? That's kind of what I was talking about with the Kimberly thing, why it's cool to know she's still out there so that like you could have a shot if nobody's ever done it. Um, what would you do to avoid it? So do you think, Greg, that you would be the person who like was a complete recluse and went, like, into a house, didn't live their life, didn't walk outside to try to avoid dying? Or do you think you would just live your life fully and die when you died? You mean if I was in, like, the final destination world?

Starting point is 00:10:02 I think that's what it's saying. If you're next on death list. I would be, I think I would be more of the person who's like, we're going to hide out safely so that way I could figure out what it is that I got to do. But that seems to never work out for anyone in these movies and stuff, you know? I mean, that's one of the, that's, that's part of the thing here is, in the first movie, Devin Sawa seemed to avoid death a couple of times. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:10:31 And, but he wasn't first on the list. No, but there was a couple of, there's some very distinct scenes where it looks like it's about to try to, there's one where he's in a room and then he, he manages to avoid death killing him. There's another one where the sparks are going off at the cars and he manages to avoid death. And we, I don't recall when we've really seen any other. characters pull that off though where they're able to avoid that we don't even see it here other than this like resuscitation methodology i don't think we've ever seen that happen i mean what would but what would you do if you're on death that was do you think you would be with a character

Starting point is 00:11:05 who could who would just live their life be a free spirit get high and enjoy everything i think i would and don't hold me to this guys allegedly i think i would find a young Nazi and kill them. Oh, and take their life. Yeah. I don't know why I didn't think about that scenario. I think that's what I would do. I would just go for the babies.

Starting point is 00:11:27 That's probably the easiest way. I would do that, but I think I would try to find somebody or like try to convince somebody who was on death row who 100% did it. It's not everybody there did do it, but who did and ask them if I could pull the electricity chair, electrocution chair, whatever, be the one to pull it. But I don't think that's how, I think you take whatever lifespan they were going to have right that's what i'm saying but if you take that then you're gonna get you buy yourself like a couple days then wouldn't you if you're if you're if you're the one to kill them you're they would yeah but no

Starting point is 00:11:56 that's not the life that they were we're going to have you kids you still kill them i thought you would only take the lifespan they would have up until the point they were going to die i think naturally is that i don't know i don't know okay so then i just find an evil person who and then like evil and that we know they did it and then i would kill that that's fair Maybe they are not on death row. Maybe they are like, maybe it's like a multiple abuser case because they don't get the death penalty. I would find somebody evil.

Starting point is 00:12:29 I'd kill them, I think. That's a fair point. That's a fair point. Well, thanks for these questions. I think that got our thoughts moving and grooving. Did you think of the movie overall? Did you like it a lot? Did you like it?

Starting point is 00:12:39 Yeah, I think it's a really good sequel. There hasn't been a final destination that I didn't like. So that's cool in this franchise. I didn't like the fourth one, the 3D one, the terrible one. that no one likes what's happened in it the car wash one i like that one that that one um car wash it was good that that's the one thing people remember from that is the car that you say the fourth one the three is three d that was the one that was like really 3d i don't remember not liking it i remember maybe it wasn't as strong as the other ones but don't remember being like this is a bad movie um

Starting point is 00:13:09 you guys tell us because if you watched our reactions let me know but i really like this one i thought that it was smart like the bloodlines element i think that was cool i kind of do wish that at the end one of the two kids survived or at least we don't know what happens to one of them but i'm okay with the way that it went down um i also feel like they did take some easy outs like we're just we end up being cool with the mom she had left for 10 years uh what about the dad and the aunt like what what is to come of them uh the penny thing i'm kind of curious about like what does the penny yet now travel to somebody else is now the penny cursed. So it did plant some good seeds and some things that I was like,

Starting point is 00:13:51 that was a little, even the resuscitation thing, because we already saw that, it would have been cool to see or maybe die another way, but then it was a bait and switch. So it did work better. But I enjoyed this. I would definitely recommend this to Final Destination fans. Yeah, I think it's a worthy follow-up.

Starting point is 00:14:05 I mean, you get the rewarding deaths, and I like how they mess with your expectations a lot of the time, where do you think something's going to happen, but it doesn't. remember the second movie did that a lot and the other movies do that a lot too but this one specifically when it came to the guy with the piercings like they really knew how to have fun with you and they have that really smart twist that actually wasn't um the the next in line it was a really smart twist rejection fun fact for you guys when we started this channel we were actually trying to

Starting point is 00:14:37 become critics in the newspaper we just wanted to get noticed for that so the last thing we ever expected was that this small channel would turn into an actual career, a business that we own. So first off, thank you, because that's large part primarily thanks to you guys. Thank you. And with it being a business, a big part of that extension has become RejectnationShop.com, which gratefully has become an actual source of income for us. And of course, that's thanks to you guys. And the site of RejectnationShop.com would not have been possible without shopping. I'm so glad that we get to partner up with companies, which they have products that we were already using. So this makes it a lot more natural.

This is Shopify.com slash real rejects to start your free trial and get one step closer to building something you love.

Starting point is 00:16:31 That's Shopify.com slash real rejects. Thank you again, Shopify for not only sponsoring this video, but helping us actually grow our now business. thank you that shocked me usually when things happen here i'm like i could have kind of seen that coming but when she'd have the affair i was like whoa i thought he had just cheated it right right because of the leather jacket i think the the one of the shortcomings of this one because the movie delivers all the final destination goodies i think i think they excel at that you get a great tony todd came like tony todd cameo it was a perfect cameo because more than a cameo or in fan service they really tie it up by giving him a character development you you actually fill in a lot of blanks

Starting point is 00:17:14 and it would be fun to kind of go back and see if any of that was in the character or do they just invent that for this time i love that he actually got to say goodbye i wonder if he was i forget what tony todd actually died of but i wonder if he was actually sick when they were making this i mean not uh hopefully this doesn't come across but he was so so thin here you have to assume very gaunt i i think that he had cancer we can look though yeah well regardless i mean he still delivered a great scene and i love the twist of bringing it back um the the deaths were creative and fun which one do you do like the best that's one of the things of i mean i like the mri one the most probably yeah in terms of like a death memorable for sure exactly because the

Starting point is 00:17:59 other ones i think get a little sometimes the death splatter stuff i felt like could have used a blend of practical in cg i because sometimes i thought it was a little too cg i with some of the deaths where sometimes the violence is still like shocking but then i would be followed by the thought of but it does look like a computer you know and and i think final destination tends to like the mom dying at the end was just splattered and i was like oh that looked a little cg i mean i think a lot of the like the one that did not lot look cg was the lawnmowered one on the dad's face like that look like they use utilized practical effects really well and i think that their attempt to do a different dynamic the intention of that is a really cool intention of making it family genealogy

Starting point is 00:18:48 and and also having to like overcome you know past traumas in order to really defeat this like like that's a there's there's the time of like elevated horror when stuff like hereditary is coming out and so many of these movies are about facing face Family trauma and generational trauma and for Final Destination bloodlines to throw that in here is really good. But I do think that sometimes I think they probably needed a little bit more meat on the character development for that stuff to hit. Kind of like what you're talking about with like letting that really let there be a truly like emotional moment that really sings with the mom with the mom and stuff. That way we have that full character development. Think of a smile. I think there's a great job at that.

Starting point is 00:19:32 It was amazing. And both of those movies of confronting your true. trauma and the character development of that and then having like an ill dark fate at the end i seem very apparent that you know for such a break that they had it seemed like they had a inspiration from the way how horror movies have evolved into this sort of genre of a family drama and uh and and and it's cool that like family final destination is adopting that so regardless like the doing the intent of that is really cool and uh a couple of the care which character did you like the most I don't know about like as much as the one that stands out to me most is the guy with the piercing and all that.

Starting point is 00:20:13 Yeah, weirdly, right? Like, I'm not saying he would have been the one that I want to grab a beer with the most, but I think that he was the best character in terms of he stood out the most. We understood his intentions. When his motivation changed, we got because seeing is believing. He was there for his brother. He was a little rash, but, like, it all made sense for him. So I think that they did a good job developing him.

Starting point is 00:20:35 the thing that we didn't, his sister and his brother, we didn't develop as much. And like we hear about the storyline between these two girls that were best friends before one goes to college. And then that doesn't really play out at all. She dies in the dumpster. And so, you know, I would have loved to see some kind of moving, meaningful moment of like I didn't get to reconcile with Julie before she died

Starting point is 00:20:59 and I need to with my brother. We do see that she has changed and she does come back to see him and is a stylist. It's a little bit show don't tell. But I would have loved a little bit more there to see what had happened with her best friend and cousin. But yeah, I think the guy with the piercings. Yeah, yeah. I think because they're going for more character depth, that's why I kind of expect a little bit more character depth out of a movie that's attempting it.

Starting point is 00:21:22 Because, you know, when you're doing like family dynamics, I didn't really feel, again, like, it's still, I still really enjoyed it. It's a fun time. And all I really hear about front of this nation is like a good mystery. The mystery was rock solid. You want to figure out the clues. Watching how it links to other movies is always such a blast. Yes. Everything you show up for, I think, really works.

Starting point is 00:21:45 And then there's this other side of where, yes, the characters are a family. But I didn't quite feel like the actors they put together didn't really, their chemistry didn't really read as real family to me. It still felt like they were actors playing family. instead of being family i didn't feel that but i i hear you on that what's your favorite in the franchise your favorite death what's the one that stands out the most of you the gymnastics one for some reason there's something about that gym so the lot people go to like the uh you know the freeway scene a lot of people go to the tanning bed man tanning bed one the tanning bed one is like seared in my mind yeah a lot people go with that one but the gymnastics one for some reason like really stuck

Starting point is 00:22:28 with me that one is crazy it's just like the way that that that's a good example to me of a blend of cg i'm practical when i remember when she like flips and then falls in that weird contorted body that like i didn't i remember not seeing that coming but that that that blend of cgion impractical just makes that sing a lot of people also go to the laser eye moment for their favorite deaths of most iconic but for some reason those other ones kind of hit me a little bit harder do you but do you think any of these deaths though would like stand up to uh the rest of the franchises any of like some of the most memorable like they're big i one i think like anything that you can say just one word and we all know what you're talking about that means that it does

Starting point is 00:23:08 like play out you know because i don't think that the garbage truck one really would because if you remind me that in 10 years like remember the garbage truck death i'd probably like what yeah but if you say MRI i'm going to remember that scene um i'm going to remember that especially because there was two deaths and one of them was an unexpected death um but i did want to kind to see what happened with the peanut butter yeah yeah yeah that was fun you know i'll take that back too on the i believe the brother and sister a lot i believe them as brother and sister a lot and i believe the brother and sister as i'm the main the main character the main character but not the other sister uh yeah i didn't really i mean the julia one we didn't really know her but she was the sister of those

Starting point is 00:23:50 two brothers but that's like was nothing to me yeah yeah that's what i think this could have been like heartbreaking i think you know oh the The person who played both irises, I thought were cast really well. But the old lady Iris, I thought was really good. She was amazing. Can you please check if that girl was Star Girl? Yeah, yeah. No.

Starting point is 00:24:11 No. Yeah. Star Girl. Yep. All right. You are correct. When you said no. Oh, she was in 47 meters down?

Starting point is 00:24:24 Who was she uncaged? Catherine, that's who she was too. Wow. Damn. I thought you were talking about... My friend did those. Yeah, I remember you telling me that. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:24:32 I saw the first one's good. Yeah, it is good. That one was good, too. I think when you brought it up, I was thinking of the boys, is what I was thinking of. You were like, nope, I was like, I think he, yes. Yeah, yeah. I thought you were thinking of a wrong one. All right.

Starting point is 00:24:47 Let's be some trivia. Yeah, I'm curious. It was his final film, Tony Todd. Wow. What a good send-off. Didn't feel like he was struggling in the scene either, you know? His voice was. so strong. He was vocally still so strong. Um, and that smile. And I think that they did something

Starting point is 00:25:04 smart, which is that we didn't go back to him. He clearly only shot for a half day. And he probably was able to have like a lot of power in that moment. Apparently, he was given total creative control over his final scene. That's cool. As final monologue was one that the crew encouraged him to use to impart some last advice to fans. That I, oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, love that of how it was about appreciate the time you have. Yeah. Like for, uh, I mean, there's something so meta about the Tony Todd moment because he was dying, he was sick in real life, and then he's here doing the death franchise, and then as he's dying, he's telling people like, hey, you know, appreciate your last moments. Yeah, he's like, stop trying to fight it. Yeah, that was, just live while you're here.

Starting point is 00:25:46 That's pretty crazy. That was pretty crazy stuff. We got, there's a very, that's a really long one. Go to the spoiler ones, maybe. Yeah, yeah, let's see what we got here. Iris dies in a similar manner from her premonition where she fell from the tower to a broken rebar. Okay. Which impaled us in the mouth, right? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:26:07 Bloodworth confirms her two ways to escape death. Yes. Yes. I feel like there's nothing really juicy here. Oh, death comes on the wind. That's what the directors are saying. Oh. Yeah, that's what I was trying to say is that the...

Starting point is 00:26:22 Yeah, with this smoke that you were saying. In the first movie, that was the only one where you see death is like a shadowy figure and so i thought they were trying to sort of bring that back here a little bit i noticed this this is cool iris's book on evading death since her initial survival from the tower accident contains pages pertaining to the plane log truck and bridge disasters yeah it's just that's cool and i think we saw those images of the plane log truck and bridge in uh and the credits as well yeah from her newspapers okay so this is the first one to introduce a kill by death due to messing with its design

Starting point is 00:27:00 but not being a part of any design for their initial death. Oh, that's why the brother died. Because it gets messy, we hear. Gotcha. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Anything here you're saying that's interesting. I should call this a day? Not enough likes, yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:15 Yeah. Good way to do it. The app on the garbage truck driver is called Crusher. That's funny. That's funny. I couldn't read it when he was swiping. I was like, what app is that? That's funny. Okay, there's the last one. A popular fan theory popped up quickly that the train derailment was actually a premonition

Starting point is 00:27:36 with the evidence that Stephanie cuts her thumb on a rose just before. Oh, so we might have just watched the premonition but not their actual death. Ah, yes. So then maybe we start with them for the next one then and she saves him. Because it was a premonition. Very interesting way to do it. Yep. Okay.

Starting point is 00:27:57 all right well that'd be cool well hell yeah hell yeah well thank you guys so much for being here thanks real rejects for submitting them cues thanks roxy we got a crazy day and you really uh sacrificed a lot of extra time to be here you too man all right guys well keep a lookout for them boys reaction to fd you got us as your appetizer and you get the uh other entree or whatever how food works you get a soda what has it um it's the main course are they the main course are they the main course is who the main what are you talking about the three boys oh what three boys the ones who react to found destination currently oh who's the third it's Andrew Aaron and John oh John's doing it too yeah I thought it was the room Jax you said it at the top and I was like who's the third one

Starting point is 00:28:44 so you're saying they're the main course I mean you mean because we're coming first but we did this first so we're dinner their dessert yeah we're gonna call them dessert they're gonna call us appetizers but I'm gonna say they're dessert I don't think they're gonna call us I think we're main course.
